Project Overview

Green Genius is a personalized sustainability tracker and goal‑setting platform built with Flask. The app helps users live more environmentally conscious lives by combining user‑generated eco‑goals, habit tracking, and AI‑powered advice.

Users can:

• Register and log in
• Ask open-ended sustainability questions to an AI assistant
• Log daily eco-friendly actions (e.g., biking to work)
• Track their progress over time
• Set and manage custom sustainability goals

The dashboard presents visual insights like category breakdowns and weekly progress charts, making eco‑conscious living both actionable and motivating.

APIs

We integrated GROQ’s hosted endpoint using the requests Python library to power the AI assistant, Green Genius.

• When users submit questions, their prompts are sent to the LLaMA 4 Scout 17B model via a POST request.
• The model generates tailored, real-time sustainability advice.
• These responses are saved to MongoDB along with user IDs and timestamps.

This adds interactivity, context-aware guidance, and personalized insights beyond static web content.
